About this site
A small set of PDF utilities that do their work on your computer instead of somebody else's.
Why this exists
Most online PDF tools work the same way: you upload your document to a company's server, the server does the work, and you download the result. It works — but it means handing a contract, a medical record, or a scan of your passport to a stranger's computer and trusting a policy page about what happens next.
Browsers have been able to do this work locally for years. So that is how this site does it. There is no upload step, because there is nowhere to upload to.
How it actually works
Every page here is a static file. When you open a tool, your browser downloads the page and the code that runs it, and from that point the work is local: your file is read from your disk into the browser's memory, processed there, and handed back to you as a download.
Nothing is transmitted while you work, and the site loads nothing from third-party servers — no external fonts, no analytics, no tracking scripts. You can verify all of that in your browser's own developer tools, which is rather the point: a claim you can check beats a promise you have to take on trust.
What we will not do
Some decisions are worth stating as commitments rather than burying in a policy page.
- We will not upload your documents anywhere.
- We will not require an account or an email address to use a tool.
- We will not watermark your output or hold a feature back for a paid tier.
- We will not add third-party tracking scripts or analytics.
Where this is going
Merge PDF is the first tool here. Splitting, compressing, rotating, and converting pages to images are the obvious next ones, and they will work the same way: in your browser, free, without an account.
The site is built to be translated, so it can be offered in more languages than English as it grows. We would rather ship a small number of tools that work properly than a long menu of half-finished ones.
How it is paid for
Running a static site is cheap, but it is not free. The plan is to cover it with advertising on the page, which is why you may notice reserved, clearly labelled blank spaces where ads will eventually sit. The tools themselves stay free and unrestricted.
